Very easy to do,and the air coming out now smells clean and the fan is blowing ALOT stronger.The stuff that accumulated on the old filters is insane!!!

 

Congrats. I remember when I did mine, it had leaves and plenty of dust.

 

It had leaves and rocks!!

 

i need to do this to my car. dont you got to cut out something behind the glove box?

 

the first time you do it, yes. it should have been done though by now.

 

if no one has changed it before, there is a plastic panel you cut off with one sides tabs with scissors- very simple- designed to cut then bend back and forth to break off-
You turn it sideways on reinstall- has tabs and hole for the existing/provided screw!
See the DIY
Once a year is suggested by acura for change of that filter!- along with brake fluid
I use the shop vac to get all the leaves and stuff hidden in there

charcoal activated filters or bosch with a micro allergen treatment are very good
Users of charcoal added brands report smell free drives past cows~

 

many cars have over 100k miles and this was never done
Dealer gets 1.5 hours for a 20-30 minute job- next time will be 10 minutes DIY as the panel is alredy cut and you know where all the screws are

 

It was my first time doing it and it took me 15 mins.

 

i have the filters sitting in the garage for a while I'll do it next weekend

 

Who's got the DIY???

 

search for "cabin filter diy" and you'll find it,very very easey.

 

yes- in the DIY section

 

Just got the charcoal filter installed, and the air while driving is noticeably improved. I cannot smell as much of the fumes. $15 delivered from ebay

 

Should've done that instead of paying 46bucks at the stealership.

 

Dealer wanted $150 to do the RL. I did the RL as well.

 

I think mines original

 

$150.00 HEE HEE HA HA Such a rip off. I do mine for $13.00 a set. Twice a year due to all the darn pollen here in W. North Carolina.

 

Do you use the standard filter or an improved one?

 

after reading this, i checked out the DIY and changed mine this evening.. good LORD those fuckers were black.. fuckin leaves EVERYWHERE too.. they had been changed before because the panel had been relocated, but im pretty sure it was by the original owner and not who i bought it from..
